Our beach bucket list consists of the world’s most fabulous ten beaches. These beaches are dotted across the globe from Malaysia to Massachusetts. They are on every discerning sun worshipers bucket list. These are the beaches we dream of, the places we never want to leave, and long to return to.

Tastes vary from one person to another. You may prefer to lounge under a palm tree in peaceful seclusion whilst the next person may love to strut their stuff along the sand in the latest bikini showing off an almost all over suntan. Then there are of course those who really want that all over tan, no swimwear required.

Taking everyone’s tastes into consideration research has identified the top four requirements for all ‘beach babes’ as being what I like to call the “S List” -Sun, Sea, Sand and Surroundings – and have come up with ten of the best.

1. Seychelles

Ancient boulders guard the sandy beaches and warm shallow waters making these beaches nothing short of picturesque. It is hard to say which Seychelles beach is the most beautiful. None are crowded, some only accessible on foot.

We’d suggest you visit more than one when you are holidaying on these stunning islands. For nature lovers this is a great place for bird watchers and you can spend time observing the islands giant tortoises. If you feel like some time off the beach you could enjoy one of the many inland jungle trails or enjoy dining at one of the many exquisite restaurants.

2. Bora Bora, Tahiti

Bora Bora is possibly the worlds’ most famous single island. The famous lagoon is a haven for those who love water sport. Windsurf, scuba dive, jetski, snorkel, kite-board, waterski or just swim and suntan. The island is a renowned honeymoon destination, if the lagoon is not quite what you are looking for, the beaches are serene, calm and beautiful. This is the perfect romantic getaway.

Love has no choice but to blossom in this peaceful paradise.

3. Maldives

You can island hop and enjoy superb accommodation, idyllic beaches and incredible marine life the whole way! This is scuba paradise! The sea life is truly amazing and you don’t have to be an expert diver to enjoy it. There are many schools for beginners and, if you don’t think scuba diving is for you, you can snorkel, hire a boat and explore the islands or just lie on the beach and relax completely.

These Atlantic coastline beaches are pristine and probably the most beautiful America has to offer. Surrounded by quaint New England Villages The Hamptons is home to some top rated restaurants.  The beaches here are long and lined by grassy dunes. Just the spot to show off that designer swimsuit.

5. Lanikai Beach, Hawaii

Directly translate from the Hawaiian language, Lanikai means “heavenly sea” and rest assured that you will not be disappointed as that is precisely what you will find here.

The waters are always warm and there is often a gentle cooling breeze to take the edge off the heat as you lie on the sand under the hot Hawaiian sun. This beach is a popular place for locals and tourists to explore the coral reef and enjoy the calm surf surrounded by sand, sea and palm trees.

One to share with the kids offering sandy beaches and waves to play in and when they’ve had enough sun take them to visit the lighthouse. One of the most famous beaches is Surfside, which is located at the end of the three miles Surfside Road.
